All winners were selected from the hundreds of pictures sent in by volunteer host families across the Northeast, reflecting the memorable experiences they shared with their New York City visitors this past summer.

Categories include “Laketime Fun," “Summer Siblings," “By the Beach” and “Fresh Air Foodies."

The Healeys’ photos were determined the winners in the “Host Families” and “Playground Fun” categories, and feature Fresh Air visitor, six-year-old Silvia, relaxing with her host family and playing outdoors in New York with her host sibling, Sarah.

The Fresh Air Fund, an independent, not-for-profit agency, has provided free summer experiences to more than 1.8 million New York City children from low-income communities since 1877.
